I'm having the same problem. I apparently got the Chinese variant of the note 8. But I'm an American that permanently lives in New Zealand. It really bums me out that simple things like this are not fixed on such an expensive phone. Bixby has been an all round fail for me. Most of the replies I get from Bixby are "got it canceled" even when I am just asking it to do simple task. I can't even get bixby to turn off Bluetooth. All it does is say "got it canceled". Makes me worried that it may be canceling something important. I'm just going to stick with Google voice because all the things that bixby is supposed to do over Google doesn't work.... It's only "got it canceled"

Im in France and i can't change the shopping carrier, sends me always to taobao....i know it has to be with some agreaments between samsung and the other companies, but it would be great if we could get at least amazon as option.

I bought an A8+ from a UK stockist on Ebay. However the phone was originally registered in Russia so all samsung apps and Bixby are russian and my bixby shopping points to a russian version of Amazon called Yandex.

I messaged Samsung on facebook and logged a support ticket. They told me i had to go to the originaly country of origin and take it up with them. Not very helpful. So sadly i cant use any Samsung apps or Bixby. Very annoying ! Sort it out samsung!
